NAM selection

The service provider programs your phone with the
phone number and system information into your
phone’s memory when your phone is first activated.
This is called a Number Assignment Module (NAM).

For example, your phone can be activated in up to 3
different service areas (e.g. one in Dallas, another in
Chicago, and maybe one more in New York), each
giving your phone a different phone number or account.

Only one number can be active at a time. When you
select a phone number, you’re also selecting which
system you’re using as your home system (see “System”
on page 63
). The first phone number displayed with this
menu is the currently selected number.

Note: It may not be necessary to have three NAMs for your
phone if your service provider has service or roaming
agreements for each area in which you wish to use your phone.
Contact your service provider for details.

Selecting the NAM for your phone

Press Menu 4 4 6 (Settings - Network services - NAM
selection
), highlight the phone number you want to use
and press OK.

Note: You need at least one active number to make calls.
You can not change from one NAM to another during a call.

Network feature setting

Call forwarding (page 21), Call waiting (page 24) and
Send own number (page 62) are network services
available through your service provider or dealer.

When you subscribe to any of these services, your
service provider or dealer gives you a separate feature
code to activate each service. Deactivation codes are
used to deactivate each service.

Once you store the appropriate code in your phone, the
service appears as a menu item. You can then use the
menu to activate and deactivate these services.

Each time you use a feature that requires a feature
code, that code is sent to the network to verify you’re
using the correct feature code.

Note: If your phone has more than one phone number
programmed, any feature codes stored will apply only to your
primary phone number, or NAM 1.

See “NAM selection” on page 45 for details on NAM.
